Hearing this, Lin Xiu looked stunned, and immediately said: "The whole army is on alert!" ”

About half a cup of tea, Zhang Qi came to the first hundred steps of the Bei'an Army, he raised his eyes and looked, Lin Xiuhou was on the gentle slope visible in sight, his own horse was horizontal, giving birth to a dark pressure situation, Zhang Qi frowned slightly, as if he was dissatisfied, Rao is Li Tiandao: "I haven't seen him for more than a year, Brother Zhong Yi has changed so much, I can't believe it!" ”

"He's not just changed!" Zhang Qi responded casually, and took the lead in slapping the horse and running towards the gentle slope.

"General, do you want the brothers to search and guard first?" Looking at the rushing Li Cheng riders, Liu Pan copied the front position of the gun and said carefully.

Lin Xiu watched carefully for a moment, and found that there were no more than a dozen people to ride, so he shook his head: "No need, tell Lin Huaiping to cancel their vigilance and continue to go south!" ”

When Zhang Qi ran closer, Lin Xiu bowed his hand and saluted, and Zhang Qi greeted him with laughter: "Brother Zhong Yi, don't come unharmed!" ”

Lin Xiu smiled lightly, and suddenly saw the armor behind Zhang Qi, and was immediately stunned, so he didn't respond to Zhang Qi's compliments, which made Zhang Qi feel embarrassed, but this official family is also an officialdom oil, how can a mere white face lose his face, Zhang Qi turned his horse to Lin Xiuma One step in front of him, and praised again: "Brother Zhong Yi, don't be impressed for three days..."

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Lin Xiu came back to his senses, humbly said to himself, and let him salute Li Tian: "Brother Jing Yun, to be honest, I didn't expect to meet you here!" ”

"Zhong Yi, life is always so confusing, who can say clearly?"

Li Tian had something to say, Lin Xiu thought about it slightly, but couldn't find a clue, Zhang Qi looked at the two of them, and interrupted them: "The three of us and the other brothers have already changed from the academy, and things are not people and heaven and earth. ”

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qi's nonsense did not make Lin Xiu fall into the pit, Lin Xiu raised his hand to resist: "Brother Yu Zhi, there are no outsiders here, just say anything directly... As for your, join forces to fight and step on the world! 'I'm afraid it's your own wish, and the foolish brother's strength is low, and he can't keep up! ”

Zhang Qi was ridiculed by Lin Xiu's secret words, and his heart was unhappy, he waved his hand to signal his own ride to leave, and Lin Xiu also retreated Liu Pan and the others, and for a while, there were only three people left on the gentle slope.

"Zhong Yi, the Jianghuai Yan army marched west to the central capital, the king of Qin in Hexi recuperated, the world will change, everyone is waiting and waiting, but you are leading your troops south, what do you mean? And what has happened to you in the last few months? How can there be so many soldiers? ”

Zhang Qi asked bluntly, Lin Xiu smiled lightly, he looked at the wild goose array in the sky in the distance, and said: "What should be obtained, it will naturally come, what should not be obtained, it is fruitless to force it, as for the south, Brother Yu, the wild goose still flies north with the head, and does not jump to the ranks, as a courtier, I should serve the king and serve the country..."

The words stopped halfway, but the deep meaning was clear, for a while, Zhang Qi broke off, and Li Tian felt it: "Zhong Yi, what a good one to serve the country... But is the new emperor a Ming monarch? ”

"Ming Jun doesn't know the king, I am not the one who has the final say, it is the words of tens of millions of people in Daxia, and if tens of millions of people in Daxia want to speak out and judge the king, they need a stable life... Brother Jing Yun, when I say this, you should understand! ”

The three of them secretly passed on to each other, Rao is Zhang Qi knew that he could not dissuade Lin Xiu in the slightest, and then looked at the Bei'an army column slowly advancing in the distance, Zhang Qi thought clearly, and said: "Brother Zhong Yi, Fang Cai's words are like rain and dew and spring breeze, which makes me suddenly wake up, since this is the case, how about me and Brother Zhong Yi go south together?" ”

"You?" Lin Xiu was stunned by these words, with his understanding of Zhang Qi, how could the fruitless southward march to aid the war make this official family enter the body? But Zhang Qi is fickle, he knows that he can't change Lin Xiu's inch, and since he wants to go south, in the absence of the edict of Zhongdu, it is better to temporarily take advantage of Lin Xiu's army to advance south, maybe he can also find other opportunities from it.

So, without saying a word, Zhang Qi got off the horse and asked for his life, and was willing to fall under Lin Xiu's army as a partial general, plus Li Tianxin galloped the field, and the friendship between the three was stuck, and Lin Xiu had no choice but to agree.

Subsequently, Zhang Qi said Zhang Ji, and personally led 7,000 Licheng light cavalry to follow the Bei'an army to the south, among which Lin Xiu was most moved by Zhang Qi's transfer of 100,000 stones of grain and grass from Licheng Fucang for the two military supplies, which was simply a carbon in the snow for the Bei'an army with insufficient grain and grass.

When the Li Army and the Bei'an Army united and marched south, Tang Chuanwen and Zhuang Fei found Lin Xiu in private, and said alone: "General, the two of us have a word, I don't know if to say it or not?" ”

"You are the confidant of this general, and you have something to say!"

Tang Chuanwen and Zhuang Fei looked at each other, and Tang Chuanwen said: "General, you are a fellow brother... I'm afraid there is a deep meaning! ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The army has no order, and it is really taboo to go out without authorization, the Bei'an army is advancing south, and the Dongzhou army can run wildly, and temporarily replace its order as an excuse, and he Li army is marching south, borrowing your name, in case..."

At this time, Lin Xiu's heart was cold, but thinking about Zhang Qi and Li Tian's past, Lin Xiu was undecided for a while: "Zhang Qiquan is very serious, but at least he won't harm me, besides, Li Tian is upright and born in Jiangmen, I can't sweep all the feelings of the two at the same time..."

"Since the general said so, his subordinates have two suggestions, I hope the general will consider them as appropriate!" After Zhuang Fei clarified his thoughts, he said: "When we go out of the northern border and enter the border of Zhongdu, if there is a fight, the two armies will go their own way, don't get entangled, second, please send a general to closely monitor the Li army, so as not to make gaps in the flanks!" ”

In Yanzhou City, when the Yan army completely occupied the counties and counties within the radius of Yanzhou and stabilized the grain roads in the rear, King Jing Yu of Yan summoned Han Mingzhen to discuss the next step of the march.

"Sir, Yanzhou has come into my hands, how will the next march go? I heard that the reinforcements sent by the imperial brother Tian Zhu are temporarily stationed in Puyang, can we quickly attack and take this place and go straight to the middle capital? ”

Han Mingzhen pondered and said: "Your Highness, Tian Zhu, this old man has heard a little, he was originally a general under the Nine Gate Governors, he is talented and cautious, he is a fierce enemy, I am afraid that a quick attack will not work!" ”

"Sir, that's too much!" King Yan seems to have disbelief: "That Yuanzi period is a veteran in the army, a Shouchun counterattack, he beat his ass and urine, this Tian Zhu was born in the military department, and the government affairs are good hands, this king still believes that the military strategy... Hum! ”

"If Your Highness doesn't believe it, the old man has a strategy, just try it!"

"Sir, please speak!"

"Assassination attack on Chen Cheng!" Han Mingzhen's words made King Yan unclear: "What does the raid on Chen Cheng have to do with the Puyang Tianzhu Division?" ”

"Your Highness, you were defeated before the Yuanzi period, and now you are stationed in Chencheng, and there are no more than 10,000 soldiers, as long as Your Highness raids this place, see how Tian Zhu reacts? You can know that this person has a strategic vision! ”
